Quote:Fried a turkey last night for the office's Thanksgiving Potluck Lunch. The bird came out really well. I'm using that as a dry run for when I fry one next Thursday. Love me some fried Tom the Turkey!

 

We fried two turkeys on Sunday for our 'Thanksgiving' tailgate.  Everybody brings a side or dessert so we had quite the assortment of goodies.  Fried turkey, corn pudding, mashed taters, deviled eggs, green bean casserole, some sort of potato casserole with corn flakes on top. corn bread, cranberry sauce, pecan pie, pumpkin pie...and I'm sure I'm leaving out several things.  Holy moly...my mouth is watering thinking about it again.  I felt like I was waddling into the game.  I made a plate for Mrs. C and brought home.  She scarfed it down in a matter of minutes.  Scored me big brownie points.   :thumbsup:

 

Speaking of tailgating.  Not to get real sentimental or mushy or anything.  I'm going to be away for our 12/22 'Christmas' game where we do pretty much the same feast, only with a slab of prime rib.  The rest of the group took a vote and decided to do the meal on 12/15 because it wouldn't be right without 'Rico'.

 

I was touched because they did it on their own, and told me afterwards.  Thanks guys!  I know some of you are out there.  Meant a lot to me.
